¿Quién es Ken en realidad? La historia del muñeco más incomprendido del mundo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:13:13 GMT

(CNN) — “Barbie”, que se prepara para ser la película imperdible del verano boreal, ya ha mejorado enormemente la percepción cultural de su estrella rubia homónima y la ha hecho relevante para una nueva generación más de 60 años después de su debut en la juguetería.Pero el eslogan de la película identifica inmediatamente a Ken, su compañero enamorado con abdominales de tabla de lavar, como una pieza de plástico menor: “(Barbie es) todo. Él es simplemente Ken”.Mientras que las marcas están produciendo colaboraciones de “Barbie” y los cinéfilos compiten por los asientos en las proyecciones, la influencia de Ken queda relegada a los memes. Incluso en el mundo real, Ken sigue siendo un segundo violín. (Warner Bros., que está detrás de “Barbie”, comparte la empresa matriz Warner Bros. Discovery con CNN).Pero, ¿quién es Ken, en realidad, además del novio y accesorio no esencial de Barbie?Adéntrate en la historia de la contraparte masculina de Barbie, desde sus oríg...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian drone hit an ammunition depot in central Crimea on Saturday, sparking an explosion, less than a week after a predawn strike on a key bridge linking the peninsula to Russia prompted Moscow to exit a landmark grain export deal and pound Ukraine’s seaports with drones and missiles. Sergey Aksyonov, the Kremlin-appointed head of the territory that Moscow illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014, said in a Telegram post that there were no immediate reports of casualties but that authorities were evacuating civilians within a five-kilometer (three-radius) of the blast site.The Ukrainian military appeared to confirm it had launched the drone strike, claiming through its press service that it had destroyed an oil depot and Russian arms warehouses in the Krasnohvardiiske area, although without specifying what weapons were used. Social media posts circulating on Saturday had earlier referenced unconfirmed reports of “several” drones targeting an oil depot ...

Russia closes Crimea bridge — again — after attack on ammo depot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:13:13 GMT

Four days after re-opening the strategic Crimea bridge that links Russia to the occupied Ukrainian peninsula, Moscow was forced to close it again due to another attack.A drone assault on an ammunition depot in the Krasnogvardeysky district has caused residents within a 5 kilometer radius of the area to be evacuated, and for rail traffic to be suspended on the Kerch bridge into Crimea.The attack was more than 200 kilometers from the bridge, but Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed governor of occupied Crimea, said on Telegram that train traffic will be suspended “to minimize risk.” The main rail line from the bridge travels through Crimea and eventually branches around to Krasnogvardeysky, a small town roughly in the center of the Russian occupied territory.Earlier, Aksyonov reported on an attempted drone raid on infrastructure in the same district, Russian state-owned media TASS reported. POLITICO has been unable to verify these reports.The Kerch bridge, completed in 2018, four ye...

(CNN) — Matt Damon turned down a major role years ago – except this role was one that could have made the Oscar-winner upwards of $250 million.Appearing on Friday’s episode of CNN’s “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace,” Damon spoke with the host about how in 2009, he was offered not just the lead role in James Cameron’s “Avatar,” but a percentage of the film’s earnings.“It’s something awful like that,” Damon joked when asked about his $250 million calculation, going on to say he’s “sure it’s the most money an actor ever turned down.”Damon said he was obligated to finish production on the “Bourne” series that he starred in between 2002 and 2016, and he didn’t want to “leave them in the lurch” to go do “Avatar.”Cameron ended up casting Sam Worthington in the lead role, alongside Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Joel David Moore and Michelle Rodriguez in the franchise’s first installment.“Avatar,” of course, went on to become the highest grossing movie of a...
